Random Beep when i tab into a textbox and delete its contents

[chrisjames25]

Hi I keep getting a random beep when i go into a textbox and delete the content of the textbox.

To be clear when i tab into the textbox its selects the whole of the text automatically and then i click delete and get a beep.

If i enter the textbox and then select the end of the string and then keep clicking backspace till all string is deleted i get no beep.

Code different for each textbox so dont beleive its any of the code that i have for each one.

I have been getting help on another thread regarding chaging the background colour of a textbox on entry and have used a module code that gasman provided but doesnt seem to contain a .beep in it.

Does a beep noise mean anythign other than it being an irritant.

module code is

Sorry forgot to attach exmaple.

ENter "abcd" into first txtbox, then "abcd" into second one. Tab back to first hit dlete and hear the beep then tab to second and do same.

I'm not hearing a beep. And yes, I turned off the music before testing.

 

[chrisjames25]

How weird, i get it everytime i run the test

 

[pbaldy]

Hopefully somebody else will chime in (pun intended). Maybe it's a version thing. I'm on Win 7 Home/A2010.

 

[chrisjames25]

OK just checking that everytime you delete a record in a table you get a chime?

 

[JHB]

There are 2 times I get a beep, but none of them if I delete a record.
1. time, when I add something in the first textbox and click the "Add Category" button so I can input something in the second textbox.
2. time, after inputting a text in the second textbox and press the tab lesser as 4 times, (and then press Delete), but that is because the focus moves to the 3 buttons first, so nothing unnormal in that. When I press the tab 4 times, the focus is back on the first textbox again, I do not hear a beep when I press Delete.
